A Matter of Time

Time travel. Long a subject of speculation in the realm of fiction, this impossibility is about to become a reality. After decades of work, a joint venture between the United States military and the Physics Department of Midvale University is about to finish an invention which could literally change the course of human history forever: a working time machine.

After extensive research and development, the scientists and engineers who have dedicated their lives to this project have gathered together friends and colleagues for the historical first human test of the time machine. This would be an event of monumental importance.

However, something is about to go terribly wrong. The first leap through time will leave these brave souls stranded in history, with a time machine horribly damaged by the journey. If they are ever to return home to the year 2020, they will need to travel from era to era seeking rare materials necessary to restore full functionality to their machine. Can they do this without causing a history-altering paradox? Do they even want to?
